* tidying up copy for FAQs page per Tatiana feedback, specifically under `Open PR`

* additional copy cleanup and updates per Tatiana PR feedback

* converting the FAQ markdown page (b55ec86, 5552abd) to a njk html template since we're utilizing dl, dt & dd markup tags for our FAQ content. Changes include corresponding CSS rules for dl and dt tags and minor punctuation update in the contributing guidelines. Addresses issue #246

<p>Generally speaking, if you know how to open a <abbr title="Pull Request">PR</abbr> in order to fix the issue, doing that is best. However, we recognise that it requires knowledge of GitHub and code to some degree, which is a form of gatekeeping. We're currently working on ways to improve/remove this barrier to entry.
